I had gone to see artwork and musical performances for an entire summer.   Being dragged against my will to see a little bit of paint on a canvas that I didn’t have that great of an appreciation for was never fun at 8 AM.  Of course after going against my will all summer to see boring paintings and sculptures my parents told me I’d be rewarded at the end.  And that seems fair enough, right? So the very last day of summer I was sitting in a room, waiting to be amazed by whatever spectacle was to be presented in my near future.  And out walks a clown.  I was doing ok at that point, not thrilled by my reward but not disappointed.  But there was something about that clown when he leaned close to my face, his white face, massive feet, and creepy outfit that freaked me out.  I had no idea what happened but after he asked for volunteers I knew I wanted no part in touching or assisting this extremely creepy alien-like creature.  My dad and I immediately exited, myself almost on the verge of tears, and we headed over to a milkshake shop to spend the rest of our morning in the presence of a normal shopkeeper, sipping on a delicious, creamy milkshake.  That’s when I found out I was extremely scared of clowns.
